We are fostering a 5 year old blenheim girl. I have been told her owners split up a few months ago, her owner decided to leave the South for the
North and decided not to take her. Coco was left with a friend who then passed her onto another then another then another. In the last 24
hours we are her fifth stop.

Coco is house trained, she wants a lap to sit on, she thinks a chair at the dinner table is normal . Coco has obviously been very loved and spoilt.

It is hard to understand how she can have been discarded.

I will keep her until the right forever home comes along. I think Coco would benefit in a home with other Cavaliers or would equally do as well as an only dog providing the owner is at home most of the time.

Update

Coco settled quite well for her first night, I think she is missing her owner. I can't believe how affectionate she is. A dog that has been loved and cared for so much
then abandoned just seems very cruel.

Oh Tania- wonderful that you are doing this! She is beautiful I'd take her in a heartbeat if I had the room!

Oh she is beautiful can't believe anyone could leave her like that. If me and my OR were to split I know the fight would be To get custody of the dogs!! For the record we are very happy :)

Aw she's lovely. She looks very comfortable there...?
I can't believe she has been passed around like that, at least now she has somewhere stable and loving. Lucky girl.

I didn't mean to post but she is lovely. I can't believe that neither one would want her. I'm sure she will make it to a good forever home

Hi,

I am taking Coco for a Vet check tomorrow. Providing she is ok, there is a local lady who is retired who would be perfect for her. This lady has a lot

of experience with Cavaliers and understands how special they are.

You would think Coco had lived here all her life, she has made herself at home. There
does not appear to be any behaviour issues at all. Fingers crossed for this sweet little girl.

What strange circumstances. I can't understand why her family would just discard her.

Glad to hear she has found a temporary place with you, and hopefully a permanent home.

I agree, I found it very difficult to understand! It is a cruel act to discarding a dog after years of love!

:xfngr: all goes OK with the vet check tomorrow. If you have any problems or it falls through, there is another possible home on the horizon - ours!

she is lovely and i have room here for her at my house with my cocker spaniel boy who would love another dog around the house :) how do i go about applying to adopt her?
where is she being fostered? my fingers are well and truelly crossed for her x x

I am afraid it is bad news, Coco has a grade 4-5 heart murmur. It would not be fair to adopt her, so I am going to keep her.

I will be taking her back on Monday for a blood test (ProBNP) a cardiac blood test.

Thank you for all your support and the offers of a loving home.

Tania,
You are a star....we are still toiing with the idea of adopting another cavalier and I nearly pm'd you about coco. You are quite right though who ever adopted this little one is setting themselves up for a whole lotta' heartache.
You are wonderful to offer her her forever home.

Coco is VERY beautiful and looks so sweet. She is lucky to have found such a loving home with you. :l*v:

Coco is indeed very lucky to have landed with Tania and Graham, she will need special care and medication for her MVD and they have opened their hearts, home and piggy bank [!] to take care of her and love her for the rest of her days.

Thank you to you both xx

Thank you also for the offers of a home...if I can go slightly OT, there is a Cavalier with Friends of the Animals who will shortly be available for homing, there is a thread about her here http://foa-rct.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=photo&thread=10172&page=1 [the home mentioned early in the thread sadly fell through]

Once the homing thread goes up someone will put it up in Cavalier breed rescue.

I'm so sorry that Coco has a heart murmur but thrilled for her that she managed to find herself a home with you and your crew Tania.
